What are the new features in AH?
-
Subs :aok
-
I am curious as to whether any more new vehicles or aircraft were added...
-
One new feature is that anyone who types "alt-f4" into the text bar gets ejected from the game..... :devil
-
OMFG SUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBS !
-
B-29 , possibility with a nuke.
-
Wouldn't it be much easier to read the release notes instead of asking on the forum?
-
Sharks with lasers.
-
Nothing is new that wasn't there in the Beta.

But that would take all the fun out of point out the obvious... :huh :aok

They didn't mention the TA-152 when it was updated in the release notes...

:salute Salute to HTC for being detail oriented.
There is a list on the Home page. My personal favorites:
“Added the Finnish Brewster B-239."
"Added the I-16.”
New planes! New, slow planes. New, slow planes to dodge Typhoons in.
“Weapons from a previous sortie that are still in the world are destroyed when you start a new sortie. Vehicle supplies are excluded from this.”
Un-gamey. So, are Attack Mode base captures going away?
“Changed arena configuration to allow more airplanes to be seen with high detail updates.”
“Fixed a bug in the explosion collider that would apply damage to the opposite side of the explosion.”
“Fixed a bug that would allow vehicles to spawn on airplane spawn points using the .fly command.”
“Reduced the specular properties of ships.”
No clue what any of these mean. They sound interesting.
“Changed automatic ack to fire in bursts, adjusted firing rates.”
Now, may be able to fly between ack rounds?
“Fixed a bug that allowed LVT’s to spawn onshore when the CV was a certain distance offshore.”
No dry spawning? This is huge.
“Changed port object to remove the sea wall.”
With the no dry spawn fix above, this will make port captures different.
“Fixed a bug in the ship guns that allowed a quick second shot when switching ammo types.”
“Fixed a bug in vehicles that instantly reloaded the tank gun after rearming.”
Anyone else feel like a chump for not ever exploiting these?
“Rapid use of the enter key while typing into the text radio no longer results in premature ejection.”
I usually just think of baseball…

LMAO...no more "gaming the game". :aok :rock :devil

I'll concede mine is not a terribly important issue; but, the 'splash' screen (is that what it's called?) is visually incomprehensible. Not only that, it's juvenile and looks like artwork from a 1980's Transformers movie poster.

If you're call sign is Kermit then you're better in fighters (even though your averages fluctuate). Missing GV numbers for some tours.

In the beta it was a Spitfire Mk IX diving on a Bf109, probably bound for a collision. Is it the same one?
